Extract Subfiles from Lotus Domino XML Language Files

When you extract a Lotus Domino XML Language (.DXL) file, the message text and header information (To, From, Sent, and so on) is extracted to a text file. If you do not want to extract the header information, set the flag KVExtractionFlag_ExcludeMailHeader when you call fpExtractSubFile().

You can make sure that dates and times extracted from Lotus Domino .DXL files are displayed in a uniform format.

To extract custom date/time formats

  • In the formats.ini file, set the DateTimeFormat option in the [dxlsr] section. For example:

    [dxlsr]
    DateTimeFormat=%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p

    In this example, dates and times are extracted in the following format:

    02/11/2003 11:36:09 AM

    The format arguments are the same as those for the strftime() function. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fe06s4ak%28VS.71%29.aspx for more information.

Extract .DXL Files to HTML

You can use the file extraction API to process .DXL files with an XSLT engine. The XSLT engine then transforms the extracted .DXL to .mail HTML files.

To extract .DXL files to HTML

  • Set the following options in the formats.ini file:

    [nsfsr]
    ExportDXL=1
    ExportDXL_PureXML=1
    
    [dxlsr] 
    LNDParser=2
